When a process is repetitive and non-core (e.g., Payroll, Tier 1 Support), the company has two options: outsource to a **BPO (Business Process Outsourcing)** or **Automate**. Historically, BPO was cheaper. Today, internal automation usually wins.

### **The equation has changed**

- **BPO:** You pay for someone else's hourly manual work. High recurring cost and loss of control.
- **Automation:** You create an internal "robot." Low fixed cost (software), instant execution, and total data control.
